The night before the invasion, Muzza wrote a letter home...
Momma,
Tomorrow I will board a plane to France and hopefully fight bravely for what we both agreed to be a just and worthy cost.
I do not know exactly where this journey will take me, I just hope and pray it will be to be a fight I am readily bringing to the German occupied doorstep of France.
This will be the last letter I will be able to send for some time. Please do not treat this as a death letter and please shed no tears yet on my behalf. I have too many things to come home to for this to be my final resting place. I hope all is well at home and please give Samantha and Elizabeth a kiss for me. I do very much miss my sisters teasing.
Yours,
David
